I find pushing people to vote "yes" on everything akin to egoboosting and making votes absolutely worthless.
I find people crying and complain when people vote "no" (especially if REASONS AREN'T POSTED OMG) to be moronic. It's a vote. Let it speak for itself.
Bawww moar.

Hmm, I don't see an update option
Perhaps you're full of crap and assume we're all the same snowflake?
Maybe you like sharing data loss bugs?
I'll agree with you though - it is extremely superficial.

I can't get audio to work for playback. Settings also do not save - yet directory has write permissions. Likely just a wine problem (winecfg freaks out on audio page) but still sucks when native gens has working sound.

I don't get the argument against similar games for different platforms. These old platforms were wildly different, making the games very different. These games are different.
Does it really hurt to have a different game that looks and sounds similar but is distinctly different? Does it make sense to reject it because it's on a different platform - especially when, like this case, the games are actually titled differently?
I would like to see all worlds on the FDS version. I'm not an expert in Mario runs so I can't say anything as far as technical ability in this run, but it looks good.

Do you really think so? The TAS would involve avoiding rings and not getting fat. That kinda takes away the whole point of the run - playing through and constantly dying of fatness.
I _do_ wish exercise was more effective.

I wish the bonus stages didn't cut off the music. Doesn't help that the bonus music sucks.
Nice run. I saw many of the little improvements.
I still find it interesting that Dooty doesn't speak English, yet the translations don't look like translations.

Spider-Waffle, in nearly every run undertaken anymore.
Subjective entertainment value comes first, and pure speed comes second. It's a disappointment.
Limiting the run to not using the save feature may be valid. My subjective entertainment sense tells me that I would probably like watching the run more if it never saved.

Didn't watch it, but...
If you are lazy in the sense that you won't check your work to make sure it's right and won't do the best you possibly can, TASing is not for you, so please give up and spare us all.

My wants are tainted by past experiences that would likely not have happened had such a thing been reality. What I want now is surely not what I would have cared about had this been possible.

My point wasn't meant to be taken as a 100% unbending application of a limitation to every possible human, hence "somewhat." Surely there are runs I have enjoyed that I have not played and weren't glitched, but out of a random selection, if I haven't played it, if I don't have memories about it or if it isn't utterly broken, I am less likely to enjoy it.
Re: abrupt ending - the run follows guidelines as laid out. Are we redefining credits? It's interesting how much things will be bent to make them _not_ work here. I don't see a problem.

Well I think most of the Zelda runs should be voted no - especially any of the 3D games - but that's because I didn't play them much as a kid and when I played them later, I found them to be terrible games.
At least for me, many runs are only fun to watch if I've played the game and have a fond remembrance of it, if it's from a series I've played that I have a fond remembrance of, or if the game is glitched to hell. (Is this feeling somewhat universal?) I remember the board I played the most in this game - Enigma - but I played Android second, and sucked royally...so it's neat to see a blast from the past and see it beaten thoroughly in a short amount of time. I'd spend this amount of time and have either lost or been close to losing...
I'm not defending the run; rather, I am saying I completely understand your decision.

It was rejected because I was a smartass / liar and people used that as basis for the run (my point was made and proven, thanks) and I didn't make the end level time periods shorter where it wouldn't lose time otherwise. I've seen more popular games get away with more.
I might take a look at it some time in the future if you don't, Flygon, though I probably won't submit it if I do. There is something I did overlook and didn't notice until submitting that run that might save significant time.

I didn't, but I should add to it.
Like many of Enix's titles of the time, this game is complete rubbish.
But game choice and acceptance at TASvideos is all a fapfest of nostalgia and popularity, so continue circlejerking your Yes. I'll just look elsewhere.
